Will there be a Miles card that will allow the same number of lounge visits as the ICBC Global Travel Mastercard?

As far as I know, no miles card can compare to the ICBC Global Travel Mastercard when it comes to lounge access. Do you see this changing in the future? Do you think the promotion will be extended for 2020? Why is it a cashback card has better lounge benefits as compared to entry-level miles cards?

As with all cc perks, they are subjected to change and I'm sure that will be the case for the ICBC card as well. They're trying to gain market share hence this is one of their perks, but at some point I'm pretty sure they will scale back.
